Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router Review

Posted on 2005-09-05 23:38:12 by LSDsmurf

The WRT54G wireless router from Cisco's Linksys features 802.11 Wi-Fi at up to 11Mbps and features wireless data rates up to 54Mbps.

I bought the WRT54G and a BEFW11S4 802.11b Linksys router at the same time. My previous 802.11b device (which was an SMC, not a Linksys), had finally failed after 4 years of constant use. I'm planning some new construction on my home and I wanted to put up two access points to ensure good coverage at both ends of my house. I primarily bought the WRT54G to ensure I'd be happy in the future - more than the present, since all of my client devices are (b). I use the WRT54G as the edge router connected to my DSL modem, and then ran a Cat5 cable to one of the LAN ports on the BEFW11S4.

I only run the DHCP server on the WRT54G, and after updating the firmware there I'm very happy with the performance, features and user interface on the WRT54G.

Performance on the WRT54G is excellent though with all (b) clients I'm not really getting the full use out of the WRT54G yet.
